Abstract
IN connection with the question of the best application of the endowments of Oxford and Cambridge, a public meeting was held at the Freemason's Tavern, on Saturday Nov. 16 by members of the Universities and others interested in the promotion of mature study and scientific research in England. The meeting was called in response to a preliminary resolution to the effect that “the chief end to be kept in view in any redistribution of the revenues of Oxford and Cambridge is the adequate maintenance of mature study and scientific research, as well for their own sakes as with the view of bringing the highest education within reach of all who are desirous to profit by it.”
